Veris dulcis in tempore
Language: Latin 
Veris dulcis in tempore
florenti stat sub arbore
Iuliana cum sorore.
Dulcis amor!
Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore,
fit vilior.

Ecce florescunt arbores,
lascive canunt volucres;
inde tepescunt virgines.
Dulcis amor!
Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore,
fit vilior.

Ecce florescunt lilia,
et virginum dant agmina
summo deorum carmina.
Dulcis amor!
Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore,
fit vilior.

Si tenerem, quam cupio,
in nemore sub folio,
oscularer cum gaudio.
Dulcis amor!
Refl. Qui te caret hoc tempore,
fit vilior.

Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Wohl in dem hohen Maienschein   
Steht unterm Baum am grünen Rain 
Schön Elschen mit dem Schwesterlein. 
O Liebesglück!  

Die Bäume stehn in hellem Blust, 
Die Vöglein singen voller Lust, 
Den Beiden wird so warm die Brust.  
O Liebesglück!

In Blüten pranget manches Reis, 
Die Jungfraum ziehen reihenweis 
Und singen unsres Gottes Preis. 
O Liebesglück!

Ei, hätt' ich, die mein Herz gewann, 
Im grünen Wald, im stillen Tann, 
Da höb' ein lustig Küssen an. 
O Liebesglück!
